题目内容

The sunflower plant bears bright yellow flowers that always face the sun, hence the name. However, the plant is grown not only for its beautiful flowers, but also for its oil that has a host of health benefits. Sunflower oil prevents diseases, lowers cholesterol levels, keeps the heart healthy, and even prevents certain forms of cancer. Sunflower oil is a kind of “magic oil” when it comes to skin care, as it makes your skin soft and smooth, and prevents signs of aging. So, let us know more about its effects on your skin.

1. It Acts as an Effective Emollient(润肤霜).

Sunflower oil is an effective emollient, which means that it helps the skin retain moisture. Thus, people with dry skin can benefit immensely from the regular use of the oil. Also, it is mild, and provides relief from irritation and inflammation of the skin.

2. It Offers Sun Protection.

Sunflower oil is a rich source of vitamin E. The high vitamin content prevents the sensitive cells of the skin from being damaged by the ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun. Also, the beta-carotene (β-胡萝卜素) present in sunflower oil helps neutralize（中和） free radicals that are responsible for causing damage to the skin, including sunburn and skin cancers.

3. It Prevents Earlier Aging.

Vitamin E present in sunflower oil not only protects the skin from sun damage, but also from earlier aging. What’s more, regular use of sunflower oil can reduce wrinkles and make one look younger. Also, sunflower oil is rich in antioxidants(抗氧化物质) that keep the skin fresh.

4. It Prevents Skin Infections（感染）.

Sunflower oil is a rich source of essential fatty acids that protect the skin from bacterial infections. Hence, it gives you a healthy skin.

5. Additional Effects.

There are other ways in which sunflower oil can prove to be a boon for your skin. These are given as follows:

It helps reduce dark spots; it helps lighten dark circles; it helps soften rough and dry skin; it can be used to remove make-up; it helps relax tired eyes.

If you have ever been discouraged because of failure, please read on. Often achieving what you plan to do isn’t the important thing._ 1.

Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house. While they were working, a few older boys stopped by to watch. "What are you doing?" asked one of the visitors. "We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth!" one of the brothers volunteered excitedly.

The older boys began to laugh, telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible. After a long silence, one of the diggers picked up a jar full of spiders, worms and a wide variety of insects. 2.Then he said quietly and confidently, "Even if we don't dig all the way through the earth, look at what we found along the way!"

So when you fail to reach your aim, perhaps you can say, "Yes, but look at what I found along the way! Look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because I tried to do something! "It is in the digging that life is lived. _____5.
